RoboCop 2 (1990)
Underrated sequel!
A good follow on from the classic first movie it answers a lot of the questions we were left with at the end of Paul Voerhoeven's excellent Robocop(1) though it does lack some of his directorial flourishes it does expand on the themes and narrative which were established there. The Robocop movies were a memorable part of my teenage viewing years and helped in so many ways to form my taste in films. The satire, Sci-Fi action and very tongue in cheek style is something I enjoy immensely! Saying all that it had been over 2 decades since I had last watched the Robocop trilogy but with a new Robocop PS5/Xbox/PC game (with pretty good limited advance reviews) coming out in 2 months(November 2023) I thought it was time to watch the Robocop trilogy again and I am very glad I did! This movie is an integral part in the evolutionof Sci-Fi!
Sci-Fi history definitely worth watching!!
Rain Dogs (2023)
Got a lot of love for this.... Resonates strongly!!
Omfg Daisy May Cooper is a complete legend!
She sees the truth and tells it when nobody else on mainstream British TV is!
I have so much love for for this show and the talent involved in creating it.. My life has been a struggle lately, all my friends life's have been a struggle lately, and this show is the closest thing that I have seen a semblance of British working class struggle, our huge pain & defeats, debt collectors hammering on our doors, something I have experienced more than once! Our fight for truth in overwhelming odds, So much of this incredible piece of art I have lived through in my life.. It resonates so strongly with me.. I broke down at points watching this, just because we are working class it does not mean that we unintelligent & worthless.
Daisy May you are a Goddess. Huge love!
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (2023)
Awful waste of time & money!
I'm a longtime comic fan and loved most of the earlier Marvel movies but I hate this godawful schmaltzy Disney mess of a movie!! Hate Paul Rudd so much, he has the most punchable face in movies IMO and couldn't act his way out of a paperbag!!
There are some great actors in this but their performances & talents are wasted in this terribly contrived, badly written mess of a film. Don't really know what else to say to fill out six hundred words to be honest. From almost the start this film made me cringe, I couldn't even enjoy the CGI and other effects which I admit were impressive but would have served better in a completely different movie as my attention could not be held, the whole affair was difficult to watch.
A huge disappointment & criminal waste of money!!
Wolf Manor (2022)
British film industry.. LOL
Funny because it's so bad, full of Emmerdale Farm characters(which did made me chuckle) possibly an attempt at parody that really does fail! I blame over a decade of Tory rule and all the funding cut from the arts, along with everything else that made this country slightly bearable! Apparently my review for what it is, is too short, all I can say is don't watch this. It's a brave attempt, though of what I'm not sure! Lots of respect to all the cast & crew of this awful waste of time, I hope they got paid because us poor Brits need a bit of cash in between visits to the food bank!. .. Epic fail!!!
